Siemens and DAMM combine for Train Control Solution

Siemens and DAMM announce an agreement to combine the internationally recognised train control standard ETCS with the long range radio communication system TETRA for rail operators in Australia.

European Train Control System (ETCS) is quickly becoming the world standard for Main Line train control. Combining ETCS with mission critical TETRA allows these interoperable standards to be deployed for long range rail networks at significantly less costs than GSM-R or LTE.
